need help design copy

Robertfalco -

The web is rampant with issues and complaints of users 'borrowing' others work/websites/graphics etc. Most designers copyright their original work but unfortunately that does little to deter those that want to copy it and use it for their own purposes.

With such an enormous variety of free, quality websites offered online now, why would you even want to steal someone elses hard work?

Put yourself in their place -
You've put hundreds of hours of pre-design, actual design, coding and graphic work into a site that you're extremely proud of and then find some low-life has copied your design, altered a few pics, some text and colours and added their own name to it!

So, in my humble opinion, "is there problem if i copy as it is website but the content and links different.. and little change in theme.. its legal?"
I'd say NO, and if it isn't, then it SHOULD be made illegal.

My 2 cents worth

Lots of people follow others - they are called sheep - and sometime in their life span they go to slaughter. Hey tell everyone where you live so someone who isn't as professional as you or has as much as you, can come into your house an take what you own - don't get mad at them - lots of people are doing it.
That really sounds dumb.........
Had you thought about "asking" the website owner or thought about learning how to do it or is it you just have to have it now and you are trying to create justifcation for your actions.

 

Here's the conditions of a company which provides FREE quality web templates.

At the bottom of their page (and on each freely available templates) is a © symbol. Anything on the web you see with that symbol is subject to original owner's copyright.
If you 'borrow' 'steal' 'copy' works with that symbol, change it in anyway, you are STILL breaking copyright laws.

So once again, YES - it is ILLEGAL.
